Why does the check engine light in my Forenza turn on when I start my car?

Generally, your check engine light turning on upon ignition is not a bad thing. This is just your Forenza testing its circuits. The dash light shouldn't stay on. If it does, you might want to bring your vehicle in for service.

Are Suzuki Forenza engine noises bad?

Strange engine sounds can be a sign something’s off in your Suzuki Forenza. Tapping or knocking could mean you're low on oil. Whistling sounds could mean you have an intake leak or misaligned belt. Squealing may be caused by a loose fan belt, and grinding might be coming from the brakes, not the engine.

What could damage my Suzuki Forenza engine?

Some driving habits are not so great for your engine. These include driving on a near-empty gas tank, revving your engine while the vehicle is in Park, or pushing 'the pedal to the metal' before the engine has warmed up. Help sustain your engine’s performance and efficiency by staying miles away from these bad driving practices.

Can I put water in my Suzuki Forenza radiator?

An emergency is the only time you should consider putting water in your radiator. Outside of that, it’s recommended you use a pre-mixed coolant or a 50/50 blend of water and coolant. However, if you need to continue driving your Forenza when you’re out of coolant, having water in the coolant reservoir is better than nothing.

What could cause my Forenza engine to suddenly stop?
